This post is a photo journal of a variety of random “along the road” photos we took on our travels through Belize. Sometimes it’s the unintentional photos that tell the best stories. We hope it gives you an authentic feel for the real Belize.
Little girl on Caye Caulker…
Animals near or on highways…
Old men on bicycles, motorbikes and tricycles…
School children…
Animals in bars and other odd places…
“Hey bartender, I’ll have another Scotch, straight-up.”
Unusual buildings…
Amusing signs…
Unusual Bars… this one was called Cheers. Talk about losing the shirt off your back!
Hot windy roads, rivers and one-way bridges…
Incredible refreshing cenotes…
Rain and fog and undulating hills…
Local fresh produce markets…
Smooth creamy delectably exquisite heavenly guacamole… with homemade corn chips…
All kinds of trees…
Prisons with gift shops…
It always amazes us when we see 3-4 people on a bicycle, usually in Mexico, but often in other Latin-American countries too. With the paranoia in Canada about every child and adult wearing a helmet, and no doubling-up or riding on the handlebars, like we used to do as kids (remember that?), it is shocking to see up to five people on a bicycle riding down the highways or on busy city streets in Central American countries. They are all dressed up too. Going to church? Going to work? Who knows, but it is all quite normal to them. Imagine how they would be shocked at our strict rules.
